Stay tuned.

- To select / multiselect, hold your finger on the file, or click on them if you selected at least one.

- Use kamikaze mode especially if you are really brave

Please install it from Google Play (will be online after some time), it good for statistic and error information.

Thx!

[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
Those who have tested, comments, ideas? What to do first?
[Android Apps and Games] y0yerrj0sh:
Very cool looking file manager i'll keep track of this, and it's one of the few that has dual panel view (the other one that i know if is solid explorer).
[Android Apps and Games] pvdeejay:
I have never tried using dual panne file manager on android but what I like about this app is that both the file views are accessible while using screen reading apps for android such as TalkBack or Spiel.

If I can ask there are some buttons at the top of the main window and some icons at the bottom.

These have no textual labels. Should these be added?

If it is undesired to display text labels on the screen maybe you can use content description properties on the individual buttons / images.

Greetings

Can anyone help with translation to other language?

I'll share string resource on pastebin.
[Android Apps and Games] iregados:
What about when in portrait mode on phones, be able to slide from one panel to another (2 panels on such a small window is not so useful and dont looks great in my opinion)

Text editor?

+1 for ftp capability and root also

looks promising, great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
iregados, phone version in plans. have some ideas how to make the operation more convenient, but i have only a tablet to regular testing and no free time, when i'll have some free time and the phone, I will develop both version, for phones and tablets too.

the primary target - release is for tablets, and only then will a special version adapted for phones.

phones will have to wait.

[Android Apps and Games] pvdeejay:
Hello,

Big thanks for textual buttons on the bottom rows of icons.

Can you also label the buttons at the top near the address bar?

As I said if adding real texts will hinder the look of the app then add content descriptions please.

BTW phone vs tablet version has just something to do with look of the app I believe since I am using it on an SGS2 and I am happy about the functionality. It is just that I am blind thus I cant see the visuals.

Thanks again and greetings

Peter

Slovak translation: pastebin.com/ThHKeAM4
[Android Apps and Games] pvdeejay:
I haven't got the new update yet but..

These two strings

<string name="navbar_up">Go to the parent directory</string>
<string name="navbar_go">Go to the folder in text edit window</string>

They are descriptions / button labels for the buttons next to the address bar.

I think saying just "Parent folder" and "Go" is descriptive enough.

Also there is an occurence of parent directory message in the file view while displaying subfolders. I am not sure but I think I haven't been able to find these in the translation. Are there more messages like this and if yes can you please add them into the string resources as well?

EDIT:

I have attempted to make a slovak string resources. Here they are: http://pastebin.com/iLUi0DzJ

While doing it I have identified some more questions:

Do the "New folder" bottom pannel icon and "Add folder" main menu item perform the same action, creating a new folder in the currently focused file view? Is the text of a new folder dialog translatable?

Is there a way to add a folder into the favorites? On my device currently DCIM and Download folders are shown after opening main menu -> Favorite I think this this the default.

What does main menu -> udev do? The no help etc texts does not show up in the localization file either. Is this supposed to be usefull and should be translatable as well?

In the settings inside the View group there is an item control pannel. When it is enabled bottom row with the buttons is shown all the time. When this is disabled these buttons are only displayed when there is an active selection in either of the file views. I was unable to understand what it does until I tried it out for my-self. I think you should consider changing wording on this settings. I can suggest:

<string name="settings_elements_title_cp">Action buttons</string>
<string name="settings_elements_summary_cp">Always show the action buttons bar at the bottom</string>

Also focus on dir option is a bit difficult to understand for me. However I am not sure if my wording is not complicating it even more....

<string name="settings_elements_title_focusondir">Scrol file view when changing folders</string>
<string name="settings_elements_summary_focusondir">When opening parent directory make the directory changing from visible</string>

Please note I am not a native english speaker it might be similar to you so these are just based off of my feeling.

Thanks and greetings

Peter
[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:

0.1.0b:

- fix panel updating after file operation
[Android Apps and Games] pvdeejay:
Hello,

Can you please explain how batch rename should be used?

Can I for example select a bunch of image files with .JPG extension and change uppercase .JPG to the lowercase .jpg?

What do batch transfer mean? Does it mean that it is possible to move / copy a folder or multiple folders recursivelly along with its subfolders? I am asking because this is obvious feature from any file manager thus I assumed it is already there. However if it is supposed to do something else than what I have just described then I fail to understand.

Also can you speak slovak or who else has submitted slovak string resources? I think that are just minor things but I would really like to change some things. From linguistic point of view the translation is done perfectly however I think we dont need most precise translation we do need most natural translation. I dont think words such as kamikaze, focus etc along with their direct translations are frequently used in slovak thus doing the translation work like this targets technically inclined users while I think file manager is too basic app and it should target just anyone who wishes to use it.

Sorry for a bit stronger arguments and thanks for keeping the project alive.

Greetings

Peter
[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
Batch transfer, it about transfer many file and folder with bluetooth, Gmail, etc. Other manager can't send folder. datFM will send all folder and subfolder with all file in.

FWIW I just tried this on my note 2 and it looks great in landscape. It's still a little cramped in portrait but what to expect for an app designed for a tablet. Great work looking forward to future updates.

What's with the legacy menu button and lack of holo design language and menu bar? This is 2013!
[Android Apps and Games] Moscow Desire:
Although I see no download to check it, I wonder if you've added a "permissions" function to change permissions on files and apks, and also current set permissions preview seeing you have root functionality.

Hi

I've been waiting for that kind of File Manager for some time, so now there is one on the way, I managed to do a small translation for the french localization

The problem is I haven't posted 10 messages on the forum yet, so I can post link. I'll just send it to you by PM.

Thank you again for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] Theonewithideas:
1. Serbian translation in progress, I will send it to you as soon as I finish.

2. Is there any chance you could integrate archiver into the actual app? It is kinda big feature (for me) to be able to unpack files, but if I need to download another app, I could use other file manager altogether.

3. Layout is kinda cramped on MDPI, could you optimize it a bit?
[Android Apps and Games] zerosys:
Works for me with my SGS3 so far.

i have to keep an eye on this app ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Jaytronics:
As stated by Theonewithideas. It is a bit cramped in vertical mode. As you can see on my on my SGS3s screenshot. Another picture maybe a tad bit redundant.

Maybe in vertical mode you can move the back and forward buttons below the address bar maybe make a little smaller or give options to make them smaller. Maybe give options to change the size and layout of anything in the app in either vertical or horizontal mode. Other than that this is a great app, thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] kinder771:
I can do the translation in french. PM me if you want.
[Android Apps and Games] galonpzw:

[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
In one of the next updates
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Zorge, I have 2 requests:

1) Make an option to hide/unhide one panel. I think 2 panels are not always required and would be good to have your app as a complete file manager. For those times when 2 panels are required (copy, move, comparing contents of 2 folders, etc) the user can click on a button and the second panel should slide out.

2) As suggested by Galonpzw, can you please add the code required from the link below to have your application resize based on display size so that it can be used on phones, tablets, phablets, TVs or whatever?

Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
1) added in todo

2) will try, thank You!
[Android Apps and Games] nikwist:
Hi

I have several issue on the 0.1.4b

1) when I try to archive some files it asks for Zarchiver 0.6.0. The latest release on my tablet (galaxy note 10.1 with android 4.1) is 0.5.2 therefore I can't use the archive function.

2) about the french localization, there are some space issue to show the text on the bottom buttons, even though it's a 10" tablet. I don't know if you can do anything about it but I wanted to mention it.

3) on my phone (sony xperia ray with CM 7.2) the background is black so I can't read the options in the settings menu. Maybe you should implement an option that detects the system backgroung color so the text displays in white when needed.

I'll send you screenshots for the 2 later issues by MP since I still can't post link in the forum.
[Android Apps and Games] nikwist:
I have something weird : if I use samba with the hostname, it works perfectly to reach my computer, but if I use the IP, i doesn't reach it.

Also, when I try to reach the HDD inside my modem (which is on open access on the network), it asks me for an ID and password, and if i just let everything blank, it doesn't work. If I uncheck the samba logging in settings, it just then gives me a blank page.
[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
0.1.5b uploaded in google play:

1) 0.6.0 is ready, but waiting de localization from translator, please wait some time.

2) UI changed in 0.1.5b, try it out.

3) Some old API fix are implement in 0.1.5b, such background of top and bottom panels, other fixes will implement in next update.

Try 0.1.5b, it has some change in auth.
[Android Apps and Games] nikwist:
Yep. Everything's solved. Great work!

I'll just for the ZA release.

By the way, they are still english pop up messages, which were not in the localization script, so they're not translated. Do you have a file somewhere with those messages so it can be translated?
[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
Some string are hardcoded in the early stages of development, so if someone sees untranslated strings, write where they are, I'll add them to the string resources.
[Android Apps and Games] nikwist:
Up to now, I've encountered those messages:

"Logon error"

"Deselect all item, before change directory"

"ZArchiver 0.6.0 or later required!"

"Unknown protocol"
[Android Apps and Games] galonpzw:
I see u add more options, give us new files to translate to keep it update :) !
[Android Apps and Games] setasai:
Can you add an option to hide files that begin with ._ ? Other than that, I'm loving your app.
[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
This option is available in the latest build, it allows you to enable / disable the display of hidden files in both local and remote on Samba (ending $).

By the way starting with the next release, hidden files by default will not be displayed. You can enable it in preference under dangerous section.

But I want add more changes for next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
Yeah, will be publish new string resource, before next release. Thank all for cooperation!

Yes my phone is rooted, and superuser installed, but never asked for root permission, I can see local/system folder, just Local/data folder is empty.
[Android Apps and Games] nikwist:
Thanks for this new version

Here is the FR translation :

http://pastebin.com/avwvgcxG

Can I ask you if next time, you can upload every existing language files with the added english content, so we don't have to do the the whole translation again ? It's OK now, but if the file gets bigger each time, that'll become a bit annoying to do stuffs we've already done. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zorge.R:
Csacsifiu, check supersu, is it allow datfm do root operation?
